The question is who is back from :
Vicario, Van de Ven, Romero, Udogie, Maddison, Odobert, Johnson, Richarlison, Werner or Solanke (10 Plyers)
to join :
Kinsky, Austin, Porro, Danso, Gray, Davies, Spence, Reguilon, Bissouma, Bentancur, Bergvall, Sarr, Kulusevski, Moore, Tel, Scarlett and Son (17)
I'd guess maybe 3 players back before ManU, 2 or 3 the following week and a couple back before the end of the month with the last couple in March.
Would make a difference both to bench options and to allow rotation of some players.

Sean Dyche would have left the
away team dressing-room with blood ( and other things) on his forehead; if one of his sides had done what we did tonight.
Probably Bill Nicholson as well for that matter .
We’re in a bad place IMO .
We will probably start playing and getting our players back now that the season is basically over, only to shit ourselves in Europe and wind up 10th or something in the PL
Exciting times ahead, by exciting I mean couldn't give a solitary fuck if they folded the club today

That front line is powder puff.
And the midfield is barely average.
Christ we’re in bad shape.
remember though , no matter how dark things look , no matter how hopeless or bleak , no matter how much frustration and anger ...
There is always a silver lining , a light at the end of the tunnel , a port in the storm
I put it to you that Daniel Levy is our port in a storm
As long as we have that wonderful man about to look after , comfort and nourish us , we will always have hope
This man won't let us go hungry , this man will lead us through choppy waters into calming streams
This man is our leader , our purpose , our reason for being
This man is our father
At least I shouldnt have any trouble shifting my tickets for this match. Some tourists will definitely pick them up.
If Ange is gone however, I will probably attend but it looks like he wont be.
Probably lose 5 4 and Sky will cream their pants and everyone will love ange for calling this shite entertainment once again.

I've expected us to lose all our games for the past 2 months bar Elfsborg and Tamworth. I didn't even expect us to beat Leicester or Everton which we lost anyway! That was because I've always believed in the narrative that we were missing multiple key players and weren't able to rotate. So the games every 3 days just kept compounding our situation where players kept getting more fatigued each game and we kept picking up a fresh new injury every game, hence the performances kept getting worse and worse. Confidence naturally dropped and we stopped even playing our attacking football in some games. It all went to shit, lets be honest. But my word its absolutely crazy how you can't believe that our injury crisis for the past 3 months isn't the key reason for all this!
Why am I saying this? Because with a week's rest and the likelihood that we should get at least 2/3 players back this week, I fully expect us to go and beat United on Sunday. In fact I think we could absolutely hammer them!
Not the positivity you were expecting this morning hey? Anyway I'll be laughed at so will be keeping my head down for the week but I'm confident this break is exactly what we needed and performance levels will dramatically pick up over the next 2 games!
For context, its so funny the narratives you read on here which contradict themselves. For the last few weeks all I've been reading is how the players have downed tools. While this morning all the talk is how we are running way too much and that's why we have the most injuries in the league! So the team who are running the most in the league are the same team who have downed tools?? Doesn't make sense does it! I guarantee you performances will pick up dramatically when we can play our high intensity game but actually rest players either side of it and use the squad. These 2 weeks will give the players a much needed rest while also allowing us time to get most of the 11 players missing back!

Kinsky should not play - how can our players have any confidence when there is a keeper behind them who makes some many costly mistake?
Who knows how different the Villa game would have been - if Kinsky hadn't gifted them a goal in the first minute.
It sets the whole tone.
It's insane to keep picking him.
Hopefully Vuc - but if not Forster who the Utd game aside was pretty solid.
If not those two - then Austin..

I hope she'll give an pre-match analysis of the Man Utd game as well

Oh great we can put spence back on the bench and make him think about his Performances.
Not on the same level as the rest of the team.
Biss and Sarr have been awful.
Maybe Gray, Bergvall and Kulu midfield 3 could work.
Will be good to see Spence playing at RB for a change. Our best player in the last month.
I'd like to see Archie in mid too, but he seems really reluctant to play Gray. He'll play him LB before he does that i feel
But he’s fucking shit according to this board.
So having him back shouldn’t make much difference.
